跟外交部發言人學英語
這個消息令國際社會感到譁然和震驚。
10月22日外交部發言人華春瑩主持例行記者會：
Q: Yesterday according to CNN and some other American media, an Australian scholar found that Ron Vara, an expert who was known as a hardliner on China and was quoted to criticize China in books by Director Peter Navarro of the Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy at the White House, is in fact a fabricated figure. Mr. Navarro acknowledged that this "scholar" wasn't real, saying that "somebody finally figured out an inside joke that has been hiding in plain sight for years." I wonder if you have any comment on that?
問：近日，CNN等美國多家媒體報道，一位澳大利亞專家發現，美國白宮國家貿易委員會主任納瓦羅在其多部書中多次引用一個對華強硬的專家“羅恩·瓦拉（Ron Vara）”，來批評攻擊中國，而這個專家竟然是編造出來的。納瓦羅本人也承認這個所謂的專家根本不存在，還表示“終於有人發現了這個隱藏多年的笑話”。你對此有何評論？
A: I believe you, my Chinese and foreign friends from the press, may have read the media reports.
答：相信在座的記者朋友們，不管是中方記者，還是外國記者朋友，可能都關注到了這個報道吧？
Frankly, this case triggered strong responses and astonishment worldwide. On some level, it shows that out of personal or political hidden intentions, certain people in the US can do whatever they can think of to contain and smear China without scruple.
坦白地說，這個消息令國際社會感到譁然和震驚，也從一個側面反映出，現在美國內個別人出於一己私利或者說政治圖謀，對中國打壓抹黑，已經到了無所不用其極、甚至到了沒有任何底線的地步。
It is absurd and extremely dangerous to make lies, spread lies and even formulate policies based on lies. Such moves will threaten and undermine normal international relations and order. Apart from that, the US will hurt its own interests in the end.
編造並兜售謊言，甚至以謊言為依據來制定政策，不僅是荒謬的，而且是極其危險的；不僅將衝擊和威脅正常的國際關係和秩序，而且從長遠看最終也將損害美國自身的利益。

Unfortunately, however, we did hear the acknowledgment by certain person in the US that "We lied, we cheated, we stole. It is the glory of American experiment." We did see lies are what the US used to fuel the wars in Iraq and Syria, and now they are again used on issues related to China's Xinjiang, Hong Kong, Huawei and related 5G technologies, the Belt and Road Initiative, as well as the so-called "Chinese interference in US presidential elections" as the Russian journalist asked earlier.
但是，令人遺憾的是，我們聽到，美方的確有人曾經承認，“我們撒謊、我們欺騙、我們偷竊，這是美國不斷探索前進的榮耀”。我們也看到，美方通過編造謊言，在伊拉克、敘利亞等地挑起戰火。而現在，無論是在中國的新疆、香港問題上，還是在華為5G、“一帶一路”、包括剛才俄羅斯記者朋友提到的所謂干預美國大選等問題上，美方編造的謊言仍在繼續。
It is necessary for one to set some bounds on one's behavior. We hope certain people in the US will return to reason as early as possible. In the meantime, we hope the international community including you, my journalist friends, will learn something from this case and carefully examine the ideas and views that certain people in the US are so desperately disseminating in their propaganda.
做人要有底線，行事要有規矩。我們希望美方一些人儘快迴歸理性。我們也希望國際社會，包括各國記者朋友們能夠從中汲取教訓，舉一反三，對美方有些人極力兜售的一些觀點或者論調，務必要認真地加以甄別和認證。
今後，“跟外交部發言人學英語”的欄目會長期上線~
希望小夥伴們喜歡，並能從中學到權威實用的英語
